>SUMME^R. TOURS 



THE valley of the Lehigh River 
extends less than one-fifth of the 
distance composing the mileage 
of the main line of the Lehigh Valle}' 
Railroad between New York City and 
Niagara Falls ; but the strikingly rug- 
ged and romantic nature of the region 
through which this beautiful mountain 
stream flows, on its way to its conflu- 
ence with the Delaware River, has 
given title and character to the entire 
system. 

Originally projected to supersede the 
slow and cumbersome canal boats which 
furnished an outlet for the coal and 
forest products of the valley, the Le- 
high Valley Railroad has developed into 
one of the several great highways con- 
necting the interior and far West with 
the seaboard ; while the value of its 
local traffic is am|)ly attested by the 
many prosperous manufacturing cities 
and villages, as well as the numerous 
delightful places of summer resort, 
which are strung like beads along its 
course. 

Emerging from the rounded hills of 
pastoral New Jersey, some seventy miles 



from New York City, the west-bcjund 
traveler gains a fine glimpse of the gorge 
of the Delaware River as the train 
crosses the lofty bridge and enters 
the City of Easton, just where the 
Lehigh unites with the greater stream. 

The surroundings afford a fitting por- 
tal to the grandeur of the blue valley 
to the westward. The busy city across 
the stream is spread out upon the hill- 
side, behind which is the lofty plateau 
crowned with the dignified buildings of 
Lafayette College. 

Easton retains many of its old-time 
landmarks and characteristics. Its 
streets are broad and shady, those ex- 
tending up the hill leading through 
vistas of elegant and costly modern 
homes. 

The present year marks the third half 
century of Easton's e.xistence. John 
Penn gave directions (writing to his 
American agents) that a town should be 
laid out " at the forks of the Delaware," 
the same to be called "Easton," in honor 
of the English country house wherein 
he had but recently courted his young 
wife, the daughter of Lord Pomfret.

ferred to 
the care of the Synoil of Pennsylvania 
in 1850. It had been endowed liber- 
ally, its chief benefactor having been 
tiie late Ario Pardee. 

Pardee Hall (recently restored after 
a disastrous fire), South College Hall, 
West Hall, Jenks Hall, and the Van 
Wickel Memorial Library are the prin- 
cipal educational buildings. The new 
dormitories facing the green are named 
in honor of their donors, the- Powell, 
Fairweather, Martien, McKeen, New- 
kirk, Knox, and lilair. A new chemical 
laboratory will soon be completed. The 
faculty is composed of thirty members. 
The curriculum includes all usual col- 
lege studies. The present attendance 
is about 350. 

A noteworthy institution is the Parker 
High School, located in South Easton.

the surrounding forest. All out-of-door

been for a number of 3'ears highly popu- 
lar, and is the regular summer home of 
many New York and Philadelphia fami- 
lies. Extensive im- 
provements are an- 
nounced for the season 
of 1901.

The fine grounds and buildings of Le- 
high University, Bisiiopthorpe School, 




and St. Luke's H()S|)ital are upon the 
south side of the river. 

Much of Bethlehem's iharin, however, 
centres around the old town upon the 
rising ground across the 
stream, where the tranquiliz- 
ing influences of the peace- 
ful Moravian founders are 
still manifest. 

The Moravians date their 
church organization from 
the twelfth century and from 
the oldest of the Protestant 
sects. Under the lead of 
Waldo, a great migration of 
Piedmontese into Moravia 
and Bohemia, to escape re- 
ligious persecution, took 
place in the fifteenth cen- 
tury, and soon after the open- 
ing of Pennsylvania by the 
great proprietor, a branch was foundetl 
here among the hills of the Lehigh. 



Large military hospitals were located 
here during the Revolutionarv \\'ar. 
The Moravian Seminary at 
Bethlehem is one of the old- 
est institutions of learning 
in the United States. The 
old Sun Inn and Eagle Hotel 
are the principal places of 
entertainment in Bethle- 
hem ; the Wyandotte Hotel 
in South liethlehem. The 
Lehigh LTniversity was found- 
ed in 1865 i)y the late Hon. 
Asa Packer, who also en- 
dowed it largely in later 
years. The institution pro- 
vides an education for young 
men in the several depart- 
ments of engineering, in 
metallurgy, chemistry and collateral 
studies. Attention is also paid to gen- 
eral literature, the classics and the 
languages. 




The principal buildings are the Packer 
Hall, two extensive laboratories, Christ-

feature. Excursion trains come hither

underwhich 
flows the lit-

called the 
" Jordan." 

Up Hamilton Street, at the top of the 
hill, is the business centre, grouped 
around a spacious open square and 
spread along the near-by streets. 

This name has a pleasant local sig- 
nificance. A cosy hotel is nestled 
among the trees, and upon an 
island in the river, beneath the verdure,

ged style, quite ex- 
pressive 
of the 

turmoil of nature and

out of the valley and 
reverberates along the 
everlastins: cliffs. 




There are three Mauch 
Chunks — Lower, Upper, 
and East. In the old lower town, across 
the bridge from the Lehigh Valley sta- 
tion, are most of the shops and the 
hotels. They are ranged along the river 
front and upon either side of the street 
leading up the gulch, like a successful 
Western mining town. Standing upon 
the shelf above is the newer residential

section, perched in front of famous 
Mount Pisgah. All outlooks are wild 
and impressive. The downpour of the 
river mingles with the never-ceasing 
rumble of creeping freight trains and 
the imperious warnings of the speedy 
passenger trains. 

In the public mind, Mauch Chunk 
and the "Switch 
Back" are synony- 
mous terms. In- 
deed, it would be 
difficult to think of 
one without the 
other. Touri.sts 
who never rode 
over the "Switch 
Back, "and tourists 
who never miss it 
when traveling this 
way, stop over for 
the exhilarating 
experience. It is 
an excursion ob- 
jective point of the 
first order. 

The Switch Back 
Railroad was built 
originally as a coal 
carrier. It extend- 
ed from Mauch 
("hunk to Summit 
Hill, the scene of 
the earliest discovery of stone or an- 
thracite coal (1791), a distance of nine 
miles. It was opened in 1827, and is 
the oldest railroad in America. Prior 
to the construction of the two " in- 
clines " up Mounts Pisgah and Jeffer- 
son (1844), the cars ran down the grade 
by gravitation and were hauled back by 
mules. 




ONOKO FALLS. 



After Other and cheaper means of 
shipment were developed, the old 
" Switch Back " was preserved and 
equipped as a pleasure route. It com- 
prises a run of eighteen miles. The 
first plane is 2,332 feet long ; altitude, 
1,500 feet. The second plane is 2,070 
feet long : altitude, 1,662 feet. The 
engines which lift 
the cars are located 
at the summits. 
The ride through- 
out is exhilarating 
and exciting, but 
thoroughly safe, 
the equip m e n t 
being of the best. 
The great charm 
of the ride is its en- 
tire novelty. The 
grandeur of the 
scene, as viewed 
from the top of the 
inclines, embrac- 
ing the valley, with 
its dense and busy 
population, and 
the billowed moun- 
tains of the Blue 
Range, h as f e w 
ecpials in America. 
At Summit Hill 
one may go by car- 
riage or afoot to the Burning Mine 
and the great coal stripping. The for- 
mer has been smoldering since 1832, 
and cniinot be cxtiiigiiisliei!. At present

features. A pathway extends up the 
glen, winding about vast rocks, span- 
ning splashing cascades, and creeping

— to rest — to peace — to revelations 
of charms, and research, and i)ossibiH- 
ties of fresli delights. 

As from an eagle's nest, perched high 
on the crest of a splendid range of 
mountains, one looks down upon a pan- 
orama of surpassing loveliness, stretch- 
ing out to the four points of the com- 
pass ; in the r.adiance of a glorious 
dawn, the brilliancy of midday, or the 
suffused beauty of sunset, the calm, 
majestic serenity 
of the moun 
tains reflects 
the chang- 
ing charms 
of the sea- 
sons. 




In its day and hour the azalea Hoods 
the prospect with a sea of bhiom. Fol- 
lowing, the rhododendron flaunts its 
stately banners and the march of the 
flowers continues, until in early autumn 
the scene ripples over with the most 
vivid color which fancy can conceive. 

The eastern States are justly famous 

for splendor of autumnal foliage, and

subtle and effective chemistry than at

A colony of about lliu'ty cottages has 

grown up, tiie owners being residents 

of New York, Philadelphia, Wilkes- 

Harre and various other cities. A quaint 

little chapel in its midst, with a rustic 

fmish of bark, is usually 

occupied each Sunday by 

a visiting clergyman. 

The Glen Summit 
Hotel, so named from 
the fairy-like tree-em- 
bowered little 
glen, nestling 
on a mountain 
top 2,000 feet above 
the sea, possesses all 
the requisites in de- 
mand in this fin de 
siecle, luxury-loving 
age, combined with 
esthetics which 
always appeal to the 
artist and thinker. 

Chief among the 
attractions are the 
walks, drives and 
bicycling. Fifty 
miles of smooth hard 
road, equal to those of 
any city park, have

been made tlirougli virgin forests, 
and are kept in most perfect condi- 
tion. New drives, which penetrate to 
picturesque and hitherto inaccessible 
points, are continually being added. 
Bowhng along on wheel or in carri- 
age, gazing down from wooded heights 
upon numerous cottages resembling 
permanent homes with their extensive 
and well-kept lawns, the impression is 
of some handsome suburb, until a dash 
over a rustic bridge or a sudden turn 
reveals naught but serpentine vista 
of clustering trees, massed ferns and 
hardy brake. The eight-mile drive to 
Bear Creek is particularly charming, and 
not infrequently is heard a silvery bugle 
call which wakes the echoes as it winds 
over the hills, warning of an approach- 
ing coaching party. Another drive, 
shorter, but full of surprise and interest, 
is that to Fountain Lake, where one sees 
the Sand Spring's source of water supply 
as it bubbles up so clear that it is almost 
as invisible as the atmosphere on a fine 
May morning. 

A first-class livery is attached to the 
hotel, where conveyances of all kinds 
can be had at reasonable rates. Careful 
drivers, well acquainted with the points 
of interest, are on call at all hours. 

A feature of interest to wheelmen is 
a coasting run of eight miles, with a 
return and easy ascent on another road. 
A large lake offers finest opportunities 
for fishing, boating and aquatic sports, 
in the midst of charming scenery. 

The north branch of the Susquehanna 
River winds in stately curves through the 
storied vale of Wyoming. 
The railroad train rolls 
down from Glen Summit by a long 



detour, affording superb views rn route,

Wilkes-Barre is proud of its affluent 
social life, the community being com- 
posed largely of wealthy descendants 
of the pioneers in the valley. Many 
large industries and extensive general 
stores lend an air of activity to the 
town. 

Stone coal was first successfully used 
here in an old tavern at the corner of 
Washington and Northampton streets.

going

from 
the lat-

Midway between Wilkes-Barre and 
Pittston stands the monument com- 
memorative of the historic Indian Mas- 
sacre at Forty Fort — an event which 
moved the English poet, Campbell, to 
pen the beautiful poem of " (Gertrude of 
Wyoming." 

The beauty and fertility of tiiis broad 
valley had induced its occupation by 
whites prior to the Revolutionary War, 
and the coming of these strangers 
among the resident tribes of Shawan- 
ese, Nanticokes and Delawares, as well 
as the predatory nations of New York, 



led to many bloody incidents which 
form salient points in local history. 

Fourteen miles toward Sunset, away 
up among the blue hills, nestles Har- 
vey's Lake. It is a lake 
of three bays and verdure- 
clad shores. It is locked in the embrace 
of the primeval forest. For generations 
it has been famous for its e.xcellent bass, 
pickerel and trout fishing ; but in recent 
years it has develojied as a modern cot- 
tage and hotel report /ar rxi-M'/nr. 

The train having 
left the main line at 
Wilkes-Barre halts at 
the lake in the midst 
of an excursion resort, 
and steamboats await 
lo connect for the sev- 
eral landings seen 
in the distance. 
The principal ho- 
tels are the new 
and picturesque 
Oneonta and the Lake 
Hotel, both near the 
head of the South Bay. 
Harvey's Lake is the largest inland 
body of water in Pennsylvania. It

stands 1,255 ^^'^^ above tidewater. It 
is fed largely by cold springs. A drive- 
way, twelve miles long, encircles the 
lake. The members of the Yacht Club 
maintain a fleet of natty sloops and cat- 
rigged boats, which add much to the 
beauty of the scene. It is one of the few 
resorts where aquatic facilities, aided by 
speedy connections with Wilkes-Barre 
and all Lehigh Valley 
points, indicate a rapid 
increase in popularity. 

Through miles of wild 
mountain scenery, accen- 
tuated con- 
stantly by 
large lumbering opera- 
tions, the mountain loop 
of the Lehigh Valley Rail- 
road continues northwest- 
ward over the Bowman's 
Creek Branch, beyond 
Harvey's Lake. Dash- 
ing little streams whisper 
of frolicsome trout, and 
dense glades are eloquent 
of partridge. From the 
station of Ricketts (named 
in honor of Col. Ricketts, 
mous as the commander of 
eran Ricketts' Battery at Gettys- 
burg) a spur of track winds and twists 
away among the lumber piles toward 
the forest. The cars of the Ganoga 
Lake Branch are backed and backed 
along wildwood lanes to finally come to 
a halt beside a rustic station in the 
depths of the piney wood. A board 
walk invites one toward a hotel — the 
North Mountain House and the Lodge, 
two plain but hospitable structures — a 
veritable mountain inn. The cleared 



grounds include a golf course of nine- 
teen holes. The Lake, close by, is dotted 
with the light blue punts which are the 
typical water craft of all this region. 

Ganoga Lake, save for the presence 
of a small clearing at the boat landing, 
is environed by unbroken forest. The 
lake is said to be the highest body of 
water east of the Rocky Mountains,

branch of the Lehigh A'alley Railroad 
at Satterfield, and thus sup- 
plies a route from the east- 
ward to Eagles Mere, one of the best- 
known mountain lakes in the State. 
The annual Chautauqua Course is a 
leading feature of summer life here. 
The hotels are the Eagles Mere, the 
Lakeside, and Chautauqua Inn. The 
amusements include bathing, boating, 
steamer excursions upon the lake and 
driving over park-like roads. 

Carriages meet guests for this charm- 
ing lake at Falls station, upon the main 
line of the Lehigh Valley 
Railroad. The drive is four 
miles eastward, and terminates at the 
" Winola," embowered among lofty 
pines. The hotel is a large and well- 
furnished house, having a room capacity 
of 200. Porches extend upon both the 
driving and lake fronts. The lake is 
immediately to the north of the hotel.

At the foot of the rocky steep leading 
to the shore are numerous row-l)oats, 
and from here an open view of the lake 
is first had, revealing its distant shores 
and numerous pretty cottages. Tennis, 
croquet, boating, fishing, bathing, driv- 
ing and dancing are the diversions. 
Fine spring water is piped into the 
house on each floor. Upon the hotel 
grounds is the rocky cavern which was 
reputed to be the dwelling place of the 
Indian Princess Winola. 

Rranching away from the railroad 
and the river at Tunkhannock is a nar- 
row-gauge line, which climbs 
out of the valley and winds 
about among the hills and streams to 
the pretty town of Montrose. This is 
the route to Lake Carey. 

Lake Carey is six miles from the junc- 
tion point, and has an altitude of 1,000 
feet above the sea. It is set among 
the verdure-clad hills. 'I'wo hotels, the 
Spring Grove House, close by the sta- 
tion, and the Ferncliffe, across the lake, 
are well filled in the season. Several 
private cottages, with boat houses and

around the lake upon a steamer. Row-

naphtha boats enliven tiie scene. 

There is probably no better lishing 
in the State than here. Black bass and 
pickerel of unusual size are taken daily 
from these cool and deep .spring waters. 
E.xcellent gunning in the fall attracts 
many sportsmen.

to Buffalo. Passengers 
over this route, eastward 
bound, may take one of 
the Seneca Lake steam- 
ers at Geneva for Wat-

Lodi Point (the Willows Hotel), one

coolest and most beautiful 
points on the lake. There 
is a fine sand beach and pleasant wil- 
low groves. A short distance from the 
hotel is a beautiful gorge that extends 
nearly a mile inland to what is called 
I.odi Falls. This forms one of the 
most delightful retreats for the seeker 
after rest and quiet. 

Near the southeastern end of Seneca

of the lake is Geneva. The steamers 
running between these two places make 
regular stops, thus affording ample op- 
portunities for excursions upon the lake, 
or for little jaunts to Watkins Glen or 
to Geneva. 

Tiiere are long drives through the 
picturesque region around Seneca Lake ; 
the roads are kept in excellent condi- 
tion, and a livery stable is attached to 
the inn, where, at a merely nominal fee, 
teams or saddle horses may be hired for 
a day's drive or ride along the lake, 
or into the vineyard region. These 
roads are excellent for bicyclists, shade 
trees, which line the drives, keeping 
them cool even in the middle of the 
day. A road eighty miles in length 
surrounds the lake, and bicyclists so 
inclined can make the most delightful 
century run imaginable. Lawn tennis 
courts and croquet grounds are maiked 
out and kept in excellent order at the inn. 

Claiming such delightful places of 
rest, it is no wonder that Seneca Lake 
is one of the most popular resorts in 
New York State, ami a haven of rest 
annually for those who know how and 
where to enjoy their summer to the full.

pecial efforts have been made, both in

"Travelers westward bound over the 
Lehigh Valley Railroad have a brief 
glimpse of beautiful Cayuga Lake as the 
train climbs the grade beyond Ithaca ; 
but it is the way-passenger only, who 
changes cars at the famous college town 
and speeds along the eastern margin 
of the lake, who realizes the remark- 
able beauty of this queen of inland

"To the tired-out business man, who 
has escaped the heated confuies of New 
Yoriv or Philadelpliia but the evening 
before, this early-morning run of thirty 
miles, close to the pebbled shore line 
of the Cayuga, is a joyous overture to 
a holiday ; but the artist who glories 
in color values, composition, and all 
that Nature has to teach him, chooses 
the eventide, when the train, which 
leaves Auburn for Ithaca, comes upon 
the lake just at sunset. Then it is at its 
best. There is a water-color study in 
every old wharf, wooded point, wayside 
group and huddle of sleeping boats. 
The scene changes with the rapidity 
of the kinetoscope. As the glow of the 
western sky deepens above the distant 
highlands the last catspaw of the stiff 
breeze which has lashed the lake into 
turmoil all day, goes flirting down its 
green and gold expanse, leaving drift- 
ing sail craft in helpless profile against 
the purple screen of the background. 

" The deep content of American rural 
life, the true life of the people, is no- 
where seen to better advantage than 
when the train pulls up for a moment 
at the frequent villages and landings. 
That happiest of mortals, the barefoot 
buy, the self-conscious village belle, the 
octogenarian, the storekeeper and the 
SLHiimer boarders from town are all par- 
ticipants in the small but cheerful ex- 
citement which always attends the ar- 
rival of the train. Yellow roads lead 
away through pretty glens toward the 
s|)arkle of vdlage lights. There are 
gypsy-like groups of summer cottages, 
where hammocks abound and young 
ladies still persist in the ancient but 
fascinating game of croquet, and later 



there is a far-off twinkle of electric 
lights toward Ithaca. It is the great 
excursion park across the lake at Ren- 
wick Beach. The lights glimmer for 
miles toward the Glen of Taughannock 
from scores of handsome summer re- 
treats, where steam yachts form the 
connecting link with town." 

Taken in detail, there are several 
places of interest of more than local 
importance upon this branch. 

Aurora is the seat of Wells College, 
the Cayuga Lake Academy and Wells 
Preparatory School. The first-named 
institution numbers among its alumni 
many women whose names are known 
in the rolls of literature and in the af- 
fairs of the State and nation. 

A large school is conducted at Le- 
vanna, and at Union Springs the So- 
ciety of Friends maintain an academy. 
A sanitarium is also located at the lat- 
ter place. 

From Cayuga Junction a short ex- 
tension of the railroad extentls to 
Cayuga, at the foot of the lake. Near 
Cayuga is the important excursion point 
of Cayuga Lake Park. It is reached 
from Seneca Falls. 

The Cayuga Lake branch includes 
a short-cut line from Cayuga Junction 
to Auburn. Here it connects with the 
Lehigh and New England brand) 
between Sayre and North Fair Haven 
upon Lake Ontario. 

Auburn is one of the most wealthy 
cities of its population in the United 
States. Genesee and South streets are 
bordered with costly and beautiful res- 
idences which are usually surrounded 
by spacious grounds. Several very 
large, and many minor, industries are

clustered along the water-power of the 

" outlet." Ovvasco Lake, two miles to 

the south of the city, is reached by 

electric cars. 

The borders of the lake are being 

rapidly improved by the builders of 

summer homes. The sur- 
OWASCO LAKE. ,. , „ , , 

roundmgs of Owasco Lake, 

the deep, clear water and animated sum- 
mer life, contribute to make it the peer 
in the aqueous group of gems which 
sparkle upon the bosom of 
the Empire State. 

Owasco Lake Park, at the 
foot of the lake, is the lead- 
ing local resort. 

The trains going south- 
ward over this division (for- 
merly the 
Southern 
Central 
Railroad), after leaving Au- 
burn, skirt the western shore 
of Owasco Lake for a dozen 
miles. Along this reach of 
pebbled waterside there are two 
charming little hotels at Ensenore 
and Cascade, both of which offer 
attractions to the holiday seeker. The 
Ensenore Glen House is a four-story 
building surrounded with verandas, and 
is furnished in modern style. The adja- 
cent glen is more than locally famous 
for its wild and rugged beauty. The 
steamer " Lady of the Lake " makes 
excursions from tiiis point. The Cas- 
cade House is environed by romantic 
scenery and well-kept grounds. At- 
tractive cottages, in connection with the 
hotel, are ranged along the lake shore. 
Many Auburnians have built cottages 
along this portion of the lake. 



The railroad crosses another of the 
Lehigh Valley's numerous tentacles at 
Freeville, which will be noted later. 

Between Freeville and Owego, the 
two points of most note are Dryden, 
the station for Dryden 
Springs and its Sani- 
tarium, as well as pretty Dryden Lake 
and Newark Valley, famous for its 
trout farms and excursion park. The 
Sanitarium at Dryden has long been a

large cities, who have adopted this 
charming village as a summer home.

dred feet above the sea level. Although 
settled for more than a hundred years, 
the hand of the despoiler has touched 
its surroundings lightly, and it is still 
near to Nature's heart. Many pieces 
of virgin forest are close by; the 
streams are still the haunts of the 
speckled trout ; and Lake Owagena is 
"the lake of the yellow perch," as it 
was in the days when the red men 
named it. 

Round about Cazenovia are many 
beautiful drives. That encircling the 



lake is one ut the finest to be found in 
any country. Four miles away the 
beautiful Chittenango Creek tumbles 
its waters over cliffs 145 feet high, 
forming a waterfall of rare beauty. 
Several acres of land about these falls 
have been acquired by an incorporated 
association, formetl for the sole purpose 
of preserving the scenery in its natural 

beauty. 
The drive 
to this spot 
is enchant- 
ing, and the 
same may 
almost be 
said of any 
of the fine 
h i ghway s 
that radiate 
fro m the 
village. 

For gen- 
eral health- 
fulness, 
Cazenovia 
is not e.x- 
celled. Its 
high alti- 
tude carries it tar above the zone of 
malaria. Hay fever is scarcely known, 
and there are no endemic diseases. The 
village water supply is of pure spring 
water from the surrounding hills. 'I'he 
rolling character of the village site allows

the city's pleasures and duties. It has 
little of the whirl and rush of the great 
summer resorts ; but its quietness, its 
tonic atmosphere, its rare beauty, give 
it a charm which those all lack. People 
who desire a certain amount of activity 
find abundant opportunities for recrea- 
tion in driving, bicycling, sailing, fish- 
ing, bathing, golf and other sports. 

Increasing numbers of summer peojile 
visit it yearly, and each year they come 
earlier and stay later. Many have re- 
turned for so many successive seasons 
that they have come to regard them- 
selves as Cazenovians. Some have 
erected handsome residences, and re- 
main there the greater portion of the 
year. 

An important institution is the Caze- 
novia Seminary, now seventy-seven 
years old, and the alma mater of many 
distinguished men and women. 

To the northward of the elevated 
plateau, along which the 
railroad extends, and about 
four miles east from Caze- 
novia, are Chittenango Falls, 
the romantic beauty of which 
has been the theme of many 
writers in earlier times. It 
may be agreeably visited over 
a fine road by carriage from 
Cazenovia. 

Oneida Lake, unlike the 
hill-begirt lakes which we 
have already 
visited, presents to the 
mind the appearance of an inland sea. 
Its shores are relatively low, and the 
broad expanse of tumbling, sparkling 
water reaches far beyond the distant 
horizon. Its chief resort, an Atlantic 



City in miniature, is spread along a 
sandy beach at the eastern end of the 
lake. This is Sylvan Beach. Scores 
of cottages front upon llie lake or are 
scattered among the. pines. Numer- 
ous hotels, restaurants and amusement 
booths e.\ist for the comfort and pleas- 
ure of the excursions which fill the place 
in summer. The Hotel St. Charles 
is a fine new structure, furnished and 
managed in metropolitan .>tyle, and 
fronting upon a fine bathing beach. It 
is one of the safest bathing places in 
the world, having a gradually slo])ing 
sandv bottom and no undertow, lioat- 
ing is popular both upon the lake and 
picturesque little Wood River. 

Other resorts upon the lake reached 
by the Lehigh Valley route are South 
ISay, Oneida Creek and Lewis Point, 
each of which has its happy summer 
population and own peculiar charms.

Buffalo is the sixth commercial city 
of the world. " Beautiful for situation" 
and by the contributing hand of 
art, Buffalo chiefly lies on a slope 
which gently rises from lake and river, 
save that there is a steep bluff for a short 
distance along the Niagara. A bird's- 
eye view from one of the high buildings, 
say from the spacious roof of Ellicott 
Square, will afford a good understand- 
ing of the city's geography. To the 



south and southwest are Buffalo River 
and Lake Erie ; to the west is Niagara's 
broad stream, backed by the quiet Cana- 
dian border. Within the measure of

The purpose of the Exposi- 
tion is to celebrate and com- 
memorate the achievements 
of the Western Hemisphere 
during the past hundred 
years, to promote trade 
and commerce between 
Pan-American countries, 
and to ]iresent a great 
object lesson showing the 
progress of the western 
world to date. Over ten mil- 
lions of dollars have been 
expended on the grounds and 
buildings alone. The Federal 
(iovernment spent half a mil- 
lion and almost every State in 
the Union has its own build- 
ings and exhibits, as most o 
the Pan-American Countries. 
There are twenty large buildings 
in the Spanish Renaissance style 
of architecture, as a compliment to 
T^atin America ; an Art Gallery cost- 
ing over three hundred and fifty thou- 
sand dollars ; the grandest electrical 
exhibit ever made, including an elec- 
tric tower three hundred and fifty 
feet high ; ten thousand horse-power 
is required, one-half of which is devel- 
oped on the ground, the other being 



transmitted from the famous Niagara 
Falls plant. 

The liberal appropriation made by the 
National Government enables it to 
make fine exhibits from all tlie depart-

When the waters leave Lake Ontario

wide and i,o6o feet deep ; Lake 
Huron, 260 miles long, 100 miles wide 
and 1. 000 feet deep ; Lake Michigan, 
320 miles long, 70 miles wide and 1,000 
feet deep ; Lake St. Clair, 49 miles- 
long, 15 miles wide and 20 feet deep; 
Lake Erie, 290 miles long, 65 miles wide 
and 84 feet deep, together with a num- 
ber of smaller lakes and 100 rivers, 
large and small, draining a section of 
country containing more than 150,000 
square miles. This is the drainage of 
almost half the continent, whose remot- 
est springs are fully 2,000 miles from 
the ocean. It is, then, not surprising 
that the volume (20,279,680 cubic feet) 
of Niagara is so great and never notice- 
ably diminished. Other falls are of 
greater height, but the stupendous pro- 
portions, the rapid sweep of the current, 
the deep gorge through which it flows, 
and its awe-inspiring surroundings com- 
bine to render Niagara Falls a scene of 
unapproachable sublimity. 

The old Railway Suspension Bridge 
across Niagara River below the falls has 
been replaced by a beautiful single steel 
arch. The new structure is said to be 
the largest single arch steel railway 
bridge in the world, and was constructed 
without interruption of traffic. 

a trip through the 
gor(;e. 

The visitor pressed for time can gain 
a comprehensive idea of the magnitutle 
of Nature's work by taking a trip over 
the Gorge Route which enters Niagara 
Gorge at the falls and, passing undtr 
the cantilever and new steel arch 
bridges, which span the river, reaches 



the lower level at Whirlpool Rapids. 
Continuing down the gorge, in full view 
of the mighty torrent, the passenger 
reaches the Grand ^Vhirlpool, whose 
great basin lies at the foot of the frown- 
ing walls of the gorge, and has been 
formed by the rush of water in action 
for ages past. 

Still following the course of the river, 
the visitor rounds Ongeara Curve and 
can see directly across on the Canadian 
shore most remarkable rock formations, 
notably the vivid resemblance of a 
human bust, called the "Demon of the 
(jorge." 

From this point is the descent of the 
IvOwer Rapids. Many interesting and 
historic points are passed — "The 
Devil's Hole," "The Giant Rock," the 
rivulet of " Bloody Run," where, in 1763, 
a compan}' of British soldiers were am- 
bushed by a band of Seneca Indians. 
Continuing, still the visitor has this 
view until is seen high on the Canadian 
heights the shaft of Brock's Monument, 
and opposite, on the American cliffs, the 
ruins of old Fort Gray, between them 
the new suspension bridge, replacing 
the first suspension bridge which 
spanned the gorge and which was 
wrecked by a gale in 1863. 

Ending the trip, it should be remem- 
bered that those so desiring can stop over 
at any point of interest along the line. 

After having been brought face to 
face with such marvelous works of 
Nature, one is uncertain whether to com- 
mend or grieve in the knowledge that 
these mighty waters have been yoked 
in production of power for the genera- 
tion of electricity, resulting in an estab- 
lishment second to none in the world.

TOURS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. 



STEAMSHIPS " NORTH WEST " 
AND "NORTH LAND." 

NORTHERN STEAMSHIP COMPANY. 

Beginning with the opening of navi- 
gation this year, the two steamers 
above named will run between Buffalo 
and Chicago, stopping at Cleveland, 
Detroit, Mackinac Island, Harbor 
Springs and Milwaukee, connecting at 
Mackinac Island with the steamship 
" Miami " for Sault Ste. Marie and 
Duluth. 

Since the operation of these twin 
steamers, " North West " and " North 
Land," by the Northern Steamship 
Company on the great lakes this tour 
has become deservedly most popular. 
Tickets are sold for the round trip, 
either all-water route, or going by water

and returning by rail, thus affording a 
most desirable summer outing. A well- 
known writer expresses the beauties 
and fascination of this tour in the fol- 
lowing language : 



" Succeeding, shining days of blue 
sky, foamy cloud flecked, and bluer 
waters scarce rippled by plowing prow, 
dreamy, lazy days ! No nightmare of 
seasickness to trample triumphantly 
upon one's inner mechanism and neigh 
victoriously over sundered ties of sun- 
dry delectables. On the contrary the 
conquering hero could revel unrebuked 
upon the achievements of a remarkably 
good cuisine, and later gaze proudly 
upon the innocuous waves with assured 
and stately mien. 

" Refreshing, nerve restoring days ! 
the wildest excitement a mild interest 
in being 'locked' through the ' Soo ' or 
watching a genuine Indian piloting 
some venturesome individual over the 
rapids which render the river unnavi- 
gable just at that point (and necessitated 
the building of the Sault Ste. Marie 
— the finest of its kind in this country), 
and nights radiant with shimmer of 
stars and gleam of moon, with now and 
again the thrum of banjo and songs 
both touching and gay, from a musical 
deck party. i 

"The wonder is that 'the lakes' are 
not better known and appreciated. As 
a matter of fact, their like is not to 
be found elsewhere. Longfellow has 
chanted their charms in pathetic verse 
and plaintive Indian song. The waters 
of more than one of them have been 
tinged with red, not that of the dying 
sun, and brave heroes have given their 
lives to secure to us this glorious 
heritage."

and it is but a day's journey from 
Toronto or Hamilton to the farthest

While the lakes in this enchanting 
region are numbered by the thousand, 
the three principal sheets of water (for 
loveliness they might be called the Three 
Graces) are Muskoka, the first and larg- 
est ; Rosseau, second and next largest ; 
and Joseph, the third, somewhat smaller

the comfortable steamers of the Mus-

Any description of the Muskoka Lakes 
would be incomplete without referring 
to the splendid service given by the five 
fine steamers of the Muskoga Naviga-

make two trips daily in the season, are

AMONG THE 30,000 ISLANDS OF 
THE GEORGIAN BAY. 

" Where the north star shines most clear. 
And our devious course we steer 
'Mong the isles of the Georgian Bay." 

One of the most delightful and beauti- 
ful trips that may be taken in Canada, 
and not surpassed in any other country, 
is through and among the Islands of the 
Georgian Bay, that great arm of Lake 
Huron lying west of the Muskoka Lakes 
and which is easily accessible from 
Midland or Penetang, two points on 
the Grand Trunk Railway System — in 
which lie an e.xtensive archipelago of 
more than 30,000. islands, and which 



bears the name of his late Majesty. 
King George the Third. In general 
character they are similar to the Thou- 
sand Islands situated in the St. Law- 
rence River, but, of course, are infinitely 
more numerous. This magnificent bay 
has no equal on the American continent. 
The steady increase of tourists to this 
locality is alone proof that it has become 
the most popular resort on the Inland 
Lakes. It is impossible to describe 
this wonderful waterway with any de- 
gree of satisfaction, as Nature has been 
so generous in beautifying and adorning 
it with a lavish hand and has gifted the 
region v^ith gorgeous scenic effects, 
rugged promontories, charming summer- 
ing places on beautifully wooded is- 
lands, intricate channels and narrows, 
that it is one grand panorama of vistas 
from beginning to end. Islands of 
every shape and size, from those of but 
a lone rock to some of hundreds of 
acres in extent, are beheld on every 
hand, most changeable in their varie- 
gated foliage and moss-covered rocks, 
peeping out of the blue depths of clear, 
crystal -like 
water, for 
the inspec- 
tion of the 
beholder. 

O n e of 
the m.0 s t

miles distant.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. 

Less than forty years since, Atlantic 
City first attracted attention as a health- 
and-pleasure resort, but so marked are 
its advantages in accessibility, comfort 
and salubrity, that it has steadily grown 
in favor until it has become the most 
popular and the largest seaside resort in 
the country. It is built on an island 
ten miles in length, formed by Absecom 
and Great Egg Harbor inlets. It is 
within sixty miles of Philadelphia by 
railroad. 

The location of Atlantic City is pecu- 
liarly favorable from a sanitary aspect, 
and its inherent natural conditions prove 
in the highest degree beneficial to im- 
paired health. The air is tonic, exert- 
ing the very effect which most constitu- 
tions require. This, with the sea bath- 
ing and hot baths, imparts renewed 
vitality, and gives that physical vigor 
which makes life a grateful realiza- 
tion. 

Atlantic City is both a summer and 
winter resort. Its climate is so tem- 
pered by the sea and the nearness of 



the Gulf Stream, that it is congenial in 
summer, while the same inlluence ren- 
ders it an agreeable and a beneficial 
resort in winter. The temperature is 
several degrees higher than that of 
Philadelphia in winter. It consequently 
enjoys a very large winter patronage, 
which is increasing with each succeed- 
ing season. 

The bathing facilities are excellent. 
Boating, fishing, promenading on the 
magnificent board walk, which is forty 
feet wide and four miles long, walking 
along the clean, hard beach, or resting 
on the white sands, are favorite amuse- 
ments, suited to the tastes and inclina- 
tions of visitors. 

The avenues are wide, and afford fine 
walks and drives, and superb runs for 
bicycles. A trolley line extends along 
the coast for eight miles to Longport, 
and in various directions are interesting 
places which may be visited by boat, 
trolley cars and railroad. There are 
minor attractions in great variety. 

STOP-OVER AT NIAGARA F.ALLS 

WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE. 

Passengers holding tickets via the 
Lehigh Valley Railroad and its con- 
nections (east-bound, destined to Geneva 
and points east thereof; west-bound, sold 
at Geneva and points east thereof) are 
privileged to stop-over at Niagara Falls 
without extra charge. This affords an 
excellent opportunity of viewing the 
many wonders of this famous cataract, 
which people come from all parts of the 
world to visit. This stop-over may be 
for any length of time from one to ten 
days ■ — not exceeding the latter.

AMERICAN EXPOSITION. 

During the continuance of the Pan- 
American E.\position, stop-over will be 
allowed at Buffalo on through tickets, 
under the same conditions as at Niagara 
Falls, except that tickets should be de- 
posited with joint agent, and a fee of 
$i.oo will be charged for this service at 
the time.

AND GLEN SUMMIT. 

Regular Summer excursion tickets 
are good for stop-over upmi notice to 
conductor.

granted holders of first or second-class 
limited one-way tickets, round-trip lim- 
ited continuous passage or special ex-

notify conductors and ap|)ly to the 
ticket agent at once for an exchange 
of original ticket through to destina- 
tion.

Brooklyn, by Annex boats to and from 
the foot of Fulton Street. The ad- 
vantages of Cortlandt and Desbrosses 
streets as terminals for business and 
professional patrons are already too well 
known to necessitate elaborate explana- 
tion. 



THE WEST 23d STREET PAS- 
SENGER ST.ATION

theatre and shopping district, and in 
addition to the excellent street-car ser- 
vice to this station, a complete cab and

sively for the accommodation of passen- 
gers. The charges for this service have 
been made u])on a very reasonable basis, 
.Vn agent of the cab service will be 
found at the cab stand, within easy 
access to the waiting room, who will see 
that all orders for vehicles are promptly 
filled, and that patrons are courteously 
and satisfactorily served.

THE MOST

IN THE WORLD. 



Running through the Grand 
Canyon of Niagara, close to the 
water's edge at the foot of 
towering cliffs. 

The only perfect way to see 
the Cireat Niagara (lorge, the 
wonderful ^Vhirlpool Rapids, 
the Grand Whirlpool, the pic- 
turesque Devil's Hole Rapids, 
and the whole series of mag- 
niticent pictures in Niagara's 
wonderland below the Falls. 

"One always experiences a 
vivid emotion from the sij^ht 
of the rapids, no matter how 
often one sees them," writes 
Wm. Dean Howells. "I had 
schooled myself for great 
impressions, but I had not 
counted upon the rapids tak- 
ing me by the throat, as it 
were, and making my heart 
stop. I still think that the 
rapids are the most striking 
part of the spectacle." 

Cars leave Prospect Park, Niagara Falls, every few minutes, passing all the principal hotels and 
railroad stations, for Lewiston, where connections are made with Niagara River Line Steamers for 
Toronto and all Canadian points. GODFREY MORGAN, General Manager.
